I receive the NY Times headlines daily by email. Prior to today, I could
click on any headline and the relevant story would open. Today, I get the
following message.
"This operation has been calceled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator."
I * am* the administrator!
Restarting Outlook does not help, nor a re-boot.

Yes, so you, as the administrator, are to know how to setup the host and its
applications along with doing all the troubleshooting. The ability to
install Windows and login under an admin account doesn't alone qualify you
as an administrator of that operating system.

Consider the message:

contact your system administrator

as the equivalent to:

contact someone that knows the OS and apps and can fix the problem for you
- or someone willing to *search Google for your solution*.

Hint: Never use the Administrator account except in emergencies. This
situation doesn't qualify. Normally login under a limited user account.
Create a separate alternate admin-level account that you use for your admin
tasks, like installing software or editing the registry. If you only have
the Administrator account and its account profile gets screwed up which
prevents you from logging in, what are you going to do? You won't have
another admin-level account to recover. Don't touch the Administrator
account unless forced to use it, and that would only be when your alternate
admin-level account doesn't work.

Not a problem in Outlook. It's a problem with the handler for that
